SubProcess -> mirror: Fatal error: max-retries exceeded

I’m guessing you then have a FOG Storage Node that is reporting back to the Main server? Though you can ftp to the node, can you actually perform any tasks, such as copy data to and from the server? It’s my guess that, even though you can log in, chances are permissions to the location are not correct, which would, seems to me, cause this issue.

Thanks for the reply.
I can confirm that we are able to mkdir, rmdir, get, and put multiple files to and from the server… from the node.
However, we can only ftp from the server to the node using the account credentials we setup during the OS installation. Using the ‘fogstorage’ and ‘fsXXXX’ that the installfog.sh script gave us returns access denied. Besides, I am under the impression those are the node’s MySQL credentials, not ftp credentials, in the first place.
-
That is absolutely correct.
To ftp, you need an actual user account on the node machine.
-
You could create a fogstorage user with the fogstorage password if you so choose, but I think it’d just be easier to put the management username and password as what you setup the system with.
-
We have a user account on the node, and we can perform what we need to perform in ftp via the initial system setup account, no problem, from the server. But where, in Fog, do I tell the main server what that username and password is for the node’s ftp?
Besides which, I’m not getting any Login errors in the log files
-
Under storage Management-><Choose Your Node>->Username and Password
-
But the Wiki said to put there what the script spit out…
Link: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Managing_FOG#Adding_a_Storage_Node[/url]Or am I misinterpreting?
-
I’m thinking it’s being misinterpreted.
You can’t ftp using a mysql username if ftp isn’t setup to authenticate thru that method.
I think the time you’re using the fogstorage and password is when it’s asking you for mysql username and password.
-
Okay… so I updated the management username and password in the Fog GUI. I then ran:
[code]sudo service FOGImageReplicator restart[/code]
and the error is still the same as when I first started this thread
Any other troubleshooting I can try? -
Also, for kicks, I went ahead and tried to change the management username and password to ‘Something’ and ‘Bogus’, and the log is still reporting the ‘max-retries exceeded’ error… still with no login errors in the log.

Is the IP setup to point at your storage node, and is the firewall/selinux disabled on the storage node?

Fortunately, no. We had a typo in that field. 10.10.1.110 can look so much like 10.1.10.110 even after three technicians and a hundred glance-overs!!Thanks! Files are transferring now and we feel sillyheaded, but that did it!

Glad I could be of assistance!
